This last month Madera Police Officers responded to a shooting in the 1000 block of Garfield Avenue.


As the investigation developed, 43-year-old Arthur Contreras was identified as the suspect in this case.


During this weekend nightshift, patrol officers conducted a traffic stop in the same area where the shooting originally took place.


Contreras was found as the driver of the vehicle stop and provided officers with a false name and California Driver’s License. Unfortunately for Contreras, this was not the first time officers had been provided a false name to avoid detection. Officers quickly uncovered his true identity and arrested him for multiple firearm related crimes.
